KEYNOTE TOOL: "Tell Me a Story"

• It's time to explore, play and discover.
• What are some ways to use these storytelling in your classroom?

	Upload an image. Configure the shape of the mouth. Record the student's voice as they read the text they have written. Then share the project with an audience. See an example of 5th grade "Bat Reports".
	Students record tours consisting of place marks containing pictures, video, audio or text.
	This isn't your typical Powerpoint- http://prezi.com/htj5dqfhs95s/immigration/
	Similar to blabberize; however, with voki students do not arrange the movement of the mouth. Recording and publishing takes place in several easy steps allowing up to 60 second recordings. Get started- http://www.voki.com/. Lesson ideas/plans- http://www.voki.com/lesson_plans.php.
